About Sherwood Forest

Sherwood Forest is a quiet, heavily wooded enclave between SouthPark and Quail Hollow, known for its Sherwood Forest Swim & Racquet Club and large 1960s–1970s ranches on hardwood-shaded lots. The neighborhood's English-village street names and proximity to SouthPark Mall, Sharon Road West, and the Arboretum make it a perennial top-five south-Charlotte search. Roofers handle storm cleanups in Sherwood Forest more often than almost any other south-Charlotte neighborhood thanks to the mature oak and pine canopy.
